yeah i read that too, but read it again and slowly doesn't it sound pieced together, that was just my take on it. i have heard some of the stuff Hatch has said about the situation and he doesn't seem to be that big of a fan of the RIAA.
What the hell are you talking about, do you even know what Moore's law is. It has to do with the number of transistors doubling every 18-24 months on a chip, there is no mention of increased internet traffic or anything else remotely related to that. Moore's law has to do with processors not the internet.
A couple of things, its not the power generated by earths damns thats affecting earth's spin it is that fact that humans are pooling billions of tons of water is places it has never been before and thats messing up the proper balance. and two, the sun is not going to go supernova its just not massive enough.
The british and canadians had different beaches. If you didn't know there were five main beaches in the d-day invasion (omaha, utah, sword, gold and juno). The americans had two beaches the brits two and the canadians had one. There were other allied soliders involved but their assualts were not as massive and the americans, brits and canadians. The reason there were no brits or anyone else show was because this was omaha beach and americans were the only ones there. So next time you start spouting off about where were the other non americans how about you do a little research first so you'd know why.

Also, dvd playback will NOT be an option on the Game Cube, and Nintendo has said that they'll market this as a gaming-only machine. Well, that rules out the CASUAL gamers, who would rather buy a gaming unit WITH dvd playback instead of two seperate machines. Not a good move on Nintendo's part, especially since I know people who were sold on the PS2 simply because of the dvd playback.
You know i hate it when people say this, do any of you all actually own a PS2 with the DVD, cause if you do you'd know it sucks ass. Yeah thats right it sucks. My roomate bought a PS2 for pretty much the sole purpose of the DVD and needless to say he was pretty pissed. Why you might ask, well the laser seems to have a problem with reading the 2nd layer on DVD's. This is such a big problem in fact there were quite a few movies we could not watch. So he went out and bought a pioneer 5 disc DVD changer and it kicks ass. It has none of the problems the PS2 had. So what i am saying is if you buy a PS2 just for the DVD drive, just shoot yourself, you'll be doing your wallet a favor. Because you're better of just going out and getting a seperate DVD system.
You seem to forget the kind of relationship the US and Canada have with each other. The canadians would turn him over in a heartbeat to the US if we served papers for his arrest. Why so that if anyone tried to do the opposite thing and stay in the US away from a canadian law he was circumventing they would want us to turn him over to them.
Never underestimate the power of political pressure.
The network executives thing has already been done last week on Law and Order, they were investigating this murder involving a kid who was on a Real World like show, and it turned out the VP of the network wanted it to happen, (not exactly how it happened but you get the idea.)
yeah the mishap is that the 14th is when their funding runs out so if they really want to collect a substantial amount of data they needed to land it a couple of days earlier than the 14th.
that's not the what the author was referring to though when he said creme de la creme, he was pointing out that the golden gate bridge is the msot famous suspension bridge in the world, he (hopefully) knew it wasn't the longest, cause we have an even longer suspension bridge here in the states too, the verranzo narrows bridge in new york is longer than the golden gate, but not nearly as famous so i think thats what they were trying to get at. and if the author thought the golden gate bridge was the longest then they are just an idiot.

yeah and we could put a couple hundred million under arms with out having to move them across the pacific, all that would be require is the distributing of weapons, then again there are tens of millions that already have them.....

your forgetting something else too, lets say it does take an extended amount of time for the plane to take down a missle using the laser, well if your in that fighter jet and the laser targets you and fires for even a second you will have been blinded most likely cause remember you are traveling towards on another at this point, so now that you've been blinded you can't control your jet, and don't say what if you have your visor down on your helmet cause that might protect from the sun put not from a concentrated 1 megawatt laser beam. so no matter how long it takes your screwed anyway.

please people, you need to learn some tolerance, i mean i am a self proclaimed atheist, but my girlfriend is a hard core catholic, and you wanna know something i don't care, and she doesn't care either, cause its really not that important in the scheme of things.
yes it pisses me off about what those christians did out side of matthew shepards funeral, in fact it makes me sick but how is it any better for you to belittle the hell out of christianity, that just perpetuates the rift.
i am not going to say there aren't christians out there that piss me off, but it works in the opposite direction too, i don't care what you believe in (or don't), just don't force our views on me, and don't belittle another religion just because a few nuts decide to start self-righteous quests. think about it, why should anyone's religion matter to anyone, i never use it to judge a person, and you shouldn't either, and i am sure you have met truly tolerant christians they just didn't let you know cause they didn't think it mattered.
why is it that stuff on slashdot generally tends to degenerate into a religious conflict, and yes i recognize that it was not your doing but you perpetuated it, hopefully my post won't. basically people just need to ignore people like that and like you cause in the long run it doesn't matter, your opinion doesn't effect my life, and mine doesn't effect yours. and yes i realize and speaking out and that does contradict with some of what i am saying about just shutting up but someone had to say this and i figured i might as well.
I hear everyone on here talking about how "oh my god they are spending 72 millions dollars to save this worthless satelite system, why?" come on people for 72 million dollars they just bought an entire fleet of communication satelites they can use at their discression(sp), how much would that have cost had they tried to implement it themselves, and how much would you be bitching if they did that instead. This sounds like a hell of a lot better deal to me. Now i am sure they have alterior motives, well i say they'd damn well better use the satelites, think about it, would you rather the gov't spend 72 million and not use them or spend 72 million and get some communication use out of them. I did see someone say something about using them as satelite killers now thats a hell of an idea, but not as likely as the simple fact it would be more effective to use them as simple communcation satelites.

hey don't say americans don't know about metrics just cause a few idiots don't know, all you have to do is take a general physics (or math) course and you'd know thats m/s is meters per second. so yes he's an idiot for thinking that but; one you assume he's an american,(which he probably is, but not necessarily(sp)), and two you assume americans don't know the metric system, which many do know they just choose not to use, there's a distinct difference.
about. you know last time i checked as long as a candidate filed the correct papers they could run for president. so nader was in every right to run, he had a cause and wasn't going to back down even if he would have rather had gore over bush, because he didn't agree with them and thats why he was running, he wanted to change things and maybe this might change a few things. oh and if bush wins you know something, it wasn't nader that cost gore the election it was bush, yeah thats right bush, because we just given bush's votes to gore he would have won. you know it pisses me off to no end that people can say that nader cost gore the election, you know why in the hell should any nader supporter vote for gore if they don't agree with what he has to say, and do agree with what the green party says. people are allowed to vote for who they thing will do the best job and if that means they don't vote for A and vote for C, and it turns out that B wins, thats just to bad, cause thats the way democracy works, don't like it fine, go somewhere else. and yes i recognize the problems with the electoral college but it is still how the president it decided, "probably not for much longer after this election though". and as others have stated gore cost gore the election, and no one else.
well the US gov and the russian gov pays it astronauts and cosmonauts for everyday spent up there, so you would have to pay taxes on that, i don't know about other countries. but you don't get the money till you get back, so you wouldn't have to pay taxes until that income came up that year's taxes.

hate to break it to you but the female astronauts going up there couldn't weight 100 lbs, now while i don't have any info just think about it, take a girl you know that weights 100 lbs and look her over does she even remotely look like one of the female astronauts, does she look like she could handle the rigors of space flight. but i do see what you are saying. but the reason we don't send men is because we send women, equality, albeit a kind of lopsided one, still better than it used to be. come on if all they sent up were men the women would be outraged and vice versa. so thats why.
